Crimes of the heart
We're all guilty
Crimes of the heart
We're all willing
To take part
In another crime of the heart

Crimes of the heart
We're all careless
Right from the start
We stand fearless
The one day here we are
In another crime of the heart

How deep is you wish
How high is your dream
Do you ever know who you are
It's all in the memory
It's all in the moment
Oh caught in the crime from the start

Crimes of the heart
We're all children
Right from the start
We're only human
Knowing inside we are
Blinded by crimes of the heart

How deep is you wish
How high is your dream
Do you ever know who you are
It's all in the memory
It's all in the moment
Oh caught in the crime from the start

Crimes of the heart
We're all willing
We're all guilty

Kim Carnes (born July 20, 1945) is an American singer-songwriter. Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a songwriter in the 1960s, writing for other artists while performing in local clubs and working as a session background singer with the famed Waters sisters (featured in the documentary 20 Feet from Stardom). After she signed her first publishing deal with Jimmy Bowen, she released her debut album Rest on Me in 1972. Carnes' self-titled second album primarily contained self-penned songs, including her first charting single “You’re a Part of Me”, which reached No. 35 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart in 1975. In the following year, Carnes released Sailin', which featured “Love Comes from Unexpected Places”. The song won the American Song Festival and the award for Best Composition at the Tokyo Song Festival in 1976.
